Unfortunately Altrincham’s town centre has been undergoing a steady decline ever since I moved here. I love the town, and I love the idea that it has a Market. But up until now, the Market only seemed to have been frequented by clientele aged 70 and over!

Some of the products are old, some are new (but made to look old). I think you’ll find that is what they call “Shabby Chic”. From the lady, whose stall is shown above, I bought some beautiful bunting and a paper teapot (I kid you not).
